Linux lamers... (Score 1)

OK, this is what we all expected, didn't we? Since Linux is by now so easy to use that even the dumbest wannabe-admin can have a go, the chance of survival for Linux-related viruses has grown by something. I'm sure there are quite a lot of people who ALWAYS log into their Linux-boxes as root because, well, it can be quite a pain not to be allowed to touch, read, change all of the files... I've seen Linux systems which were so tightly administered that they required root-rights to start a filemanager. But on the other hand, the guy working on these boxes never used an account other than root, as he didn't want to have to switch users all the time. So it goes... Even the best and most virus-proof OS fails if the operator using it is incompetent - or just lazy. I never switch on my computer - that's how I know it's virus-free :o)
